1. LĀTŌNA ET NIOBĒ

2. Niobē, rēgīna Thēbārum, erat superba quod septem fīliōs et septem fīliās habēbat .

3. Dea Lātōna quoque līberōs clārōs habēbat.

4. Fīlius erat deus Phoebus Apollō

5. et fīlia erat dea Dīāna

6. ..fēminae Thēbārum dōna deīs deābusque et tūra sānctīs flammīs dant.

7. Niobē clāmat:`Fēmināe, ōrāte mē, nōn Lātōnam.’

8. Phoebus septem fīliōs necat…et Dīāna sex fīliās necat

9. Niobē multīs lacrimīs vītam ultimae fīliae rogat.

10. Sed Dīāna ultimam fīliam quoque sagittā necat.

11. Dum Niobē lacrimat in statuam congelat.

12. etiam nunc lacrimae mānant

13. `Statua’ est prope urbem Manisa in Asiā Minōre
